Nationwide anti-government protests are taking place in Venezuela on Saturday, as Juan Guaido, the leader of the opposition, urged demonstrators to back him to step up international pressure in a bid to force Nicolas Maduro to leave his presidential post. At the same time, Venezuela is also witnessing pro-Maduro rallies.

Pro-government rallies are taking place in several districts of Caracas, with the majority of demonstrators gathering in Plaza Bolivar.
Venezuela is also facing large-scale anti-government protests, with opposition leader Guaido having declared himself the country's interim president in a bid to oust incumbent President Nicolas Maduro. Moreover, the United States, which supports Guaido's efforts, seized assets of Venezuela's state-owned PDVSA oil and gas company. 
Maduro called Guaido a puppet of Washington, accusing the United States of plotting to overthrow his government.
